The examples marked X were chosen because they appear to show a pattern of storm direction associated with post-new-moon timing (PM stationing). With a few exceptions they tend to track to the north and northeast for a large portion of their existance. Ivan shows an odd loop of directional change. The storms occurring during the moon's AM stationing appear to travel more westerly. 73% of this years storms occured during the moon's AM stationing +/- a few days. The details of this table help significantly to support this paper's proposition.
